Key Benefits ·
Allows testing the same scenarios at different locations and times
by means Capture and Replay™ feature.
Traffic Generator captures high speed data packets and saves them for future analysis or for replaying them at different locations. Capturing can be selective by using packet filters and by number of packets. Later, captured packets can be replayed as they are , or they can be modified including their payloads. In addition, they can be sent at the exact speed or at different packet or bit rates. Capture and Replay ™ feature preserves the quality of data packets even at high traffic speeds for accurate and effective tests of IPTV, Video on Demand, VoIP, and other real-time streaming technologies. Capture Features · Unlimited captures of data packets
in real-time with extensive packet filters from layer-1 to 7.
Replay Features
· Replays real-time data packets with extensive packet filters from layer-1
to 7. General Features
· Allows saving, loading, deleting and transferring capture files. Traffic Generation features are also available on Network Emulator NE3000 model. Gigabit Wire Speed Packet Generator
Packet Generation is another powerful feature of Traffic Generator. This feature allows users to generate very flexible Ethernet, VLAN, IP, IPV6, TCP, UDP and any custom protocol with custom payloads. To generate realistic traffic, address, port, any 2 byte data fields as well as packet size may be modified on every packet. Modifications can be done by means of incrementing, decrementing or randomizing. Every checksum field is recomputed for every packet by default. The traffic amount can be specified by amount of packets, packet rate, bit rate, or time duration. Alternatively the traffic can be sent continuously at maximum speed. Up to 10 independent traffic streams can be generated per port. Easy to use Web GUI makes traffic generation one-minute long task. Features
· Gigabit wire speed packet injection per port, 1.48 million packets/second/port. Simena Traffic Generators and high models of Network Emulators (NE3000 and PTC3000) are also capable of emulating BGP protocol by establishing neighbor connections to many BGP routers and sending all kinds of BGP messages. Following are some of the BGP Emulation features: · GUI
and CLI based BGP emulation. Stateful TCP Traffic Generation Simena Traffic Generators and high models of Network Emulators (NE3000 and PTC3000) can also be used to generate stateful TCP connections to multiple destionations. Following are some of the TCP Traffic geneations features: · GUI
and CLI based stateful TCP connections. Network Performance Measurements
Simena's Traffic Generators also implement network performance measurements. By generating packets with time stamps and sequence numbers users can measure latency, bandwidth, packet loss, amount of duplicate packets, and amount of out-of-order packets on multiple streams either in one direction or in both directions. Measurement results are displayed in a real-time tabular format. Users can also save the results in CSV formatted files.
Packet Flow Switch (PFS) allows users to collect packets from many sources and send them to various devices. Through PFS's web based user interface, it is possible to create any-to-many, many-to-many and many-to-any connections.
PFS can be used as a traffic aggregation tool to collect packets from various sources such as routers, switches, load balancers; and send them to traffic analyzers, loggers or monitoring systems. Flexibility in configuration eliminates requirement on TAP devices and valuable SPAN ports on switches. Powerful BPF packet filtering allows users to pick and choose which packets would be forwarded. PFS can use up to 22 ports and up to 10G speeds with jumbo frame support. PFS is available on PTC3000 and NE3000 models of Network Emulator as well as TG1000 and TG2000 models of Traffic Generator family.
Traffic Generator has several statistics capabilities. It can show the packet send rate in packets and bits per second in tabular format. Similarly, it can display the throughput in graphical format. Although Traffic Generator is very easy to learn and use it provides an online user guide for complex emulations and administration tasks. Hypertext index lets the user navigate very easily. Convenient pop-up window can be used as a desktop reference. For more information or 15-day free evaluation of Traffic Generator please contact us. |
